"oil plume" must have been a term conjured up by the usual politically motivated, lying environgelical crowd seeking to turn loose their inner fascist on the rest of us. I have just one question: Do you believe BP, their MSM shills, and the government that all this oil from the "spill" just "disappeared" and/or "evaporated?" I am an adult with both experience and a reasonably functioning brain, Joe. I know better than to place my trust in statements made by the government, statements made by transnational corporations and schills for either. I am also leary of taking the word of the owner of an oil-focused investment banking firm, which is what Matthew Simmons was (RIP). Yours, Issodhos

Thanks, Joe, this seems to answer my question. But oil from the ruptured well, broken down by sprays of chemical dispersants and held at depth by water pressure, has formed microscopic droplets not buoyant enough to break through the transition layer that separates warm surface currents from the cold bottom water, several experts said. My next question would be, whose idea was it to use the disperants at those depths? Yours, Issodhos Wasn't mine. P.s. By the way, it should be remembered that the data presented here was generated back in June. So, I guess today's question remains, where has the oil gone or why can it not be found? You're not from the impacted areas of the Gulf Coast are you? "They" made it "disappear." "They" pay when it shows up on the shore. It's in the water.

[b]Experts say most Gulf spill oil still in water[/b] Nearly 80 percent of the oil spilled from a BP well in the Gulf of Mexico is still in the gulf, US scientists have estimated, challenging a more optimistic assessment by the US government earlier in the month. Does the above answer your question? Do you believe that this "spill" incident is over? In your opinion, was it just a tempest in a teapot in the first place?

What concerns me is that [b]storms can AEROSOLIZE treated oil and spread it around.[/b] In this layman's opinion, that's the immediate danger as compared to the long term ecological damage. I don't believe that this "spill" incident has been resolved yet.

You're not from the impacted areas of the Gulf Coast are you? "They" made it "disappear." "They" pay when it shows up on the shore. It's in the water. Was that meant to answer my question? Yours, Issodhos From the article: We have seen some premature celebration,” said Rep. Edward Markey, (D-Mass.), who convened the House Energy and Environment subcommittee hearing. “What we have learned today is that the oil is not gone. The oil remaining in the Gulf waters or washed up on the shore is equivalent to 10 Exxon Valdez spills, and could be much more.”
The report released recently by NOAA and the Department of Interior -- in which the agencies said the “vast majority” of the oil had been either recovered, dispersed or evaporated -- rendered more optimistic figures because it counted as recovered the 800,000 barrels of oil captured directly by ships, Lehr conceded under questioning by Markey.
He said agency scientists also have not tallied the significant quantities of methane gas and heavy metals released into the gulf as a result of the spill.
If only 10% of the spilled oil was actually recovered, that is equivalent to the 10% to 15% recoveries scientists estimated were possible from a major spill at the time of the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster, Markey noted. “So it seems to me that BP comes in only at the low end of what was possible 20 years ago.... I think it’s important that even using a 21-year-old grading system, that BP has done a very poor job in cleaning up the gulf.”

I see. So the Obama administration wanted to put a good spin on things going into the election so the NOAA report became a question of "what" was gone and what did "gone" mean? The rascals.
Yours,
Issodhos
